Topic: RE: Slim Fast Low Carb shakes
I have a Slim Fast Low Carb shake every morning. I have tried 3 of their snack bars (rocky road, carmel nut, and peanut butter crunch) they are good and the peanut butter crunch taste just like a butterfinger.
Wishing
you all well on your WLS journey!

You got to be happy that you done it for yourself............. It does not matter what others think.............. My family does not say much.......... But I know how great I feel now and no one is going to get me down.......... Just hang in there hun.............. You are doing great

Topic: RE: Frustrated with sisters!
I am sorry to hear that your family is not supportive, except your one sister. In time likes this with the changes we are going through a good support group is very important. I also have a friend who even though we still talk she thinks I took the "easy" way out. Sorry there hasn't been anything easy about it. It's just a shame they can't be happy for you and your weight loss. But all that really matters is how you feel about yourself. If you feel good and healthy then hopfully they will come around. If not then I feel bad for them. I am lucky I have 2 sisters one of which will be 2yrs post op in oct and the other who lost like 60lbs with atkins. So they are very supportive and also my mother was 1 year post op in may. I am glad to have the support I have somedays it helps. I guess as long as they aren't coming around be blessed with the sister that does support you. You are doing a great job and as long as you feel better physically and mantally about yourself focus more on that. Stress certainly isn't good for the body...We have put enough on it without adding to it. I hope everything works out for you.

Topic: RE: Frustrated with sisters!
sorry to hear about your sisters but I am in similar situation with my best friend of almost 18 yrs. we live in the same town and i talk to her briefly once evry 6 weeks or so and its always about her. She was against the surgery from the beginning but i dragged her down for the consult and made her cry in drs office she swore it wasnt about her jealousy towards me looking better, but i believe it was.she did spend my surgery time with me in hospital but after that things started changing. we used to talk 3 times a day and see each other every week at least once...Im lucky if i see her once every 3 months and thens its a casual thing meaning it was with other friend or we ran into each other...Not once has she said i looked good but she says it too other people...shes about 120 pounds and I believe her losing her fat best friend where she would get all attention and i would get none has hurt her..The only advice i can give you with your sisters is ignore them..This is a choice you have made for yourself and one you should be proud of and now you know how the world feels about you..Doesn matter how much it hurts me shes like that i refuse to let her win, i dont need negative people in my life...btw i was 322/almost 8 months out and 112 down....KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

Topic: Slim Fast Low Carb shakes
Ok so im fighting this darn plateau and its driving me crazy!!! I hate all the protein shakes and havent drank em..yes I had hair loss!!! Ok so now to what I have found. Slim fast has a low carb shake..Comes in five flavors chocolate,chocolate royal,strawberries and cream,vanilla and cafe latte. They are good I was shocked and they have 20 gs of protein and 1 sugar..I am willing to get these down and hopefully get weight moving again.. Just wanted to share and btw they have snack bars with protein too but havent tried them
Topic: Panties
Well, here I go again. I wanted some new panties went and bought what I thought would fit me and low and behold they make me look like I am carrying some extra in the butt area. Went back to the store today and purchase pantties the size my 12 year old is wearing and guess what...THEY FIT. Such small things make us so excited. They are a size 7.
Hope you all have a nice weekend.

Topic: RE: 7 Months Post-opt
Sharon-
I pretty much eat what I want. Just in moderation and no pasta, bread, and potatoes. I still can't tolerate bread, so I just don't eat it. I eat a lot of protien, tuna fish, chicken, ham, turkey, pork chops, cheese, eggs, nuts/peanuts, Oscar Myer Bacon (the kind in the boxe that you cook in the microwave), every morning I have a low carb Slim Fast shake (it has 20 grams of protein). I have had on occasion a half of a cookie. I also eat fruit and veggies @ least 1/2 to a cup of each everyday.
Does this help? What do you eat?
Wishing you continued success
on your WLS journey!
